But I'm not a drinker so I've never been. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-town-dog-friendly#post-114211 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 00:36:15 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 114211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Witz: I am in Seattle! I guess it IS dog friendly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-town-dog-friendly#post-114210 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 00:35:14 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 114210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They just opened up a bar/pub near my house where you can bring your dog. The dogs can even sit right up at the table with you!!!<br /> Now THAT is what I call dog-friendly... drinking beer with your pooch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-town-dog-friendly#post-114177 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 21:07:07 +0000 SAHM0811 114177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: yup I've seen big dogs at stores, not just little ones.</p> <p>eta: oh and the dogs don't have to be in carts. They're on leashes. But bed bath and beyond recently put into a effect a dog cart rule. Their carts are different from other carts and are marked for dogs only. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-town-dog-friendly#post-114153 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 20:33:52 +0000 heffalump 114153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: love the dog beach! My pup isn't crazy about the water, but we keep trying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-town-dog-friendly#post-114152 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 20:33:04 +0000 heffalump 114152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Witz: I hats when stupid people ruin it for the rest of us! We always pick up after my dog. The other day while my mom was walking him and picking up his poo, a man yelled at her because he pol's in his yard. She was picking it up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-town-dog-friendly#post-114103 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 19:58:18 +0000 oliviaoblivia 114103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is really dog friendly. We just got back from the dog beach. Most restaurants allow dogs on the patios and most shops let dogs in as well.<br /> And landlords are required to allow pets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-town-dog-friendly#post-114065 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 19:07:24 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 114065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My community is pretty dog friendly. There are miles and miles of green belt trails and people are always walking and jogging with their dogs, myself included. In town center all the restaurants have outdoor seating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-town-dog-friendly#post-114063 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 18:54:47 +0000 Witz 114063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have read that Seattle has more dogs than children, so I think that probably qualifies it for "dog-friendly" status... right? :) </p> <p>That being said, I have to admit I am not a fan of dogs (we have a cat, though). Just this morning I caught a guy out in front of our condo building that did not pick up after his HUGE dog. That has been a real problem in our building lately and I felt so triumphant when I confronted him and he picked it up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-town-dog-friendly#post-114026 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 17:38:39 +0000 BoogieBea 114026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Big dog town. Seems like everyone has a dog here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-town-dog-friendly#post-114016 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 17:28:13 +0000 chopsuey 114016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Relatively. Lots of outdoor seating at restaurants and water bowls outside of stores. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-town-dog-friendly#post-114014 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 17:25:22 +0000 heffalump 114014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NYCaliMama: Do they even let big dogs in these places? I've seen little dogs in carts in stores like home depot and michaels, but never big dogs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-town-dog-friendly#post-114012 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 17:24:14 +0000 heffalump 114012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: It kills me when people are scared of my dog. He's also pretty big, 65 lbs, but the sweetest dog ever. I told one man he was very friendly because he looked scared to go past us (I was holding on tight to his leash of course), and the man said that he didn't look like he has a friendly face. I think he was scared because my pup looked like he wanted to jump up on him. But he only wanted to lick him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-town-dog-friendly#post-113994 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 16:56:46 +0000 SAHM0811 113994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my neighborhood in NYC is very dog friendly. all the buildings around me including ours allows dogs. There's a doggie daycare next door as well as at least 3 dog parks that I know of within a 15 min walk away. Dogs are usually allowed in restaurants with outdoor seating and in stores like Bed Bath and Beyond, Home Depot, etc... They've given my pup dog treats before! One local burger joint and a few other eateries have special doggie desserts too!! Oh there's also a lot of pet stores and it's not unusual to see a dog in a stroller occasionally... We saw one today in fact! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-town-dog-friendly#post-113991 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 16:53:51 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 113991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I don't think so. They probably get it alot. One of the employees said, "someone had an accident!" and then we looked back and saw the trail of poop. Ugh, we had no idea. I dragged her out of the store to the grass and of course, she didn't have to go anymore. My DH cleaned up the mess. LOL</p> <p>Yeah, mine is SUPER friendly with people and just wants to say hi to everybody. But not everybody wants to say hi to a 70 lb boxer with a tail that can kill! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-town-dog-friendly#post-113987 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 16:50:26 +0000 heffalump 113987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: Lol, that's so funny! Did the people at Petsmart get upset? I wonder if that happens often. Our dog used to be like that. He's very friendly and just wants love from everybody, and he used to be crazy about getting it. But now he's on prozac (for the separation anxiety) and he's older, so he's calmed down so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-town-dog-friendly#post-113981 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 16:43:45 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 113981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think my town is mostly dog friendly, but we don't bring her many places because she is reactive (not aggressive, just really really wants to say hi and she's basically rude!) towards other dogs. But there's dog parks around the city and there's some restaurants allow dogs on their patios. I would say we are dog-friendly. We do have a 93% no kill rate for our shelters, yay!</p> <p>Btw, the ONE time we took our dog to petsmart, she pooped while walking down the aisle... the ENTIRE aisle had poop down it. Embarrassing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-town-dog-friendly#post-113976 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 16:24:29 +0000 heffalump 113976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love love love where I live because there's so many places that my dog is allowed to go. We hate leaving him home because he has separation anxiety, so it's hard to actually go out and do things. I live about two minutes from downtown where there are tons of outside restaurants and he's even allowed in some of the stores. I think it's good for their business because I wouldn't shop as much if I couldn't bring my pup. </p>
